DAZVR6 0 Posted March 1, 2008 Report Share Posted March 1, 2008 Welll had my Jamex suspension fitted but there seems to be a problem, when turning left and the weight is transfgered to the right side there seems to be a banging/knocking noise, sounds like the spring as its coming from that area. Anyone know how to remedy this..? this problem only started after having trhis kit installed, its Jamex suspension-30/25mm from ebay. Link to post Share on other sites
xyber 1 Posted March 1, 2008 Report Share Posted March 1, 2008 I have heard of a few people buying kits from ebay that turn out to have mis-matched partsalso did you replace all the mounts, bushes and bearings? Link to post Share on other sites

vr6madmike 0 Posted March 1, 2008 Report Share Posted March 1, 2008 Id say it is deffo the top mounts, I had this before I changed mine when I did the koni's, its the bearing in the top mount thats knackered and not allowing the spring to rotate, instead it flexs's then bangs!

DAZVR6 0 Posted March 1, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 1, 2008 Is there anyway to test for sure that its the top mounts, how do mot testers do it..? Link to post Share on other sites
vr6madmike 0 Posted March 1, 2008 Report Share Posted March 1, 2008 I dont think you can really test them as the bearing will only seize up when its under load, just get them changed, Link to post Share on other sites
xyber 1 Posted March 1, 2008 Report Share Posted March 1, 2008 it will be the top mounts, you'll have to strip it out and start againnever pays to skimp, especially when top mounts are pennies. Gutted for you mate Link to post Share on other sites
